Antihistamine

Are Antihistamines worth the price you have to pay?

Drugs like steroids and antihistamines only make the drug companies richer and make you poorer in a financial and health sense. Doctors will never find a solution other than rotating different types of antihistamine over a long period of time, it's not exactly getting to the root of allergy sufferers problems.

You need to find an alternative way to find out the root of your symptoms. You need to check the environment you live in and your diet. For example, if you own pets (cats and dogs) there is a strong possibility you could be allergic to them and they need to eliminated from your living conditions. It could also be carpets and soft furnishing which dustmite thrive in.

If you think a food intolerance is causing your symptoms, try cutting out a certain food from your diet for 3 weeks and see if your symptoms persist. I recommend trying this process with milk/eggs, wheat/gluten, nuts/seeds, citrus fruits and soya. Dairy and wheat are the most common food allergies, and I recommend eliminating these family foods from your diet first and work through the other groups of food allergies.

You may want to consider making an appointment with a Allergist/Immunologist, who treat people with the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases of the immune system. They will be able to find out the root of the problem.

If you have been on antihistamines for a long period of time, you might want to reconsider alternative treatments. You will feel less drowsy and more comfortable without taking antihistamines everyday for the rest of your life.
